"Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS.

These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st).

Forced medical detransition.

This country is a danger to trans children & young people."

Labour UK is committing genocide.

@ketan govts should require stricter air and sound emissions reguations - and push a high percentage of regional renewable energy to supply them. That way when the AI bubble bursts - there will be lower cost power source built for the future

The planned gas-fired capacity **JUST FOR DATA CENTRE ON-SITE USE** in the US is the same as *all* planned gas capacity in India, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea and China *combined*.

The Canadian government is planning
to introduce a bill on Wednesday, June 10th, to mandate identity surveillance of every adult using social media in Canada! 👁️‍🗨️

https://globalnews.ca/news/11894610/canada-social-media-ban-teens-online-harms-bill/

A ban on social media for children
does nothing to reduce the harm caused by commercial social media. Instead, it means mandatory ID scans for every adult using social media.

We must stop this authoritarian proposal,
and demand our government focuses instead on reducing the harm for everyone using social media.

It has been explained by experts over and over that bans of social media are shortsighted lazy measures that do not help in the end, but in fact harm everyone, including the children.

Stop ID surveillance in Canada! ✊⛔️

New: the FCC is trying to ban burner phones by forcing all telecoms to store ID information on all new and renewing customers. That includes a government issued ID number. Massive privacy-impacting change

FCC Wants to Kill Burner Phones By Forcing Telecoms to Get All Customers’ IDs

The FCC wants to legally force telecoms to collect new and renewing customers’ government issued identity number and physical address, impacting everyone from the privacy-conscious to domestic abuse survivors. “We never thought that would happen here.”

The government's aim to block nude images would take away control over our devices.

ORG's @JamesBaker explains that this is about mandating for all of us as adults to go through ID checks simply to unlock the actual use of our phone.

Despite there existing ways for parents to protect kids already.

Oh remember when I made a blogpost speculating about an "AI worm" which would use the credentials it found on each machine to pay for itself and would mutate each time it changed? https://dustycloud.org/blog/the-first-ai-agent-worm-is-months-away-if-that/

Yeah so a research lab tried that and uh, it was a "spectacular success". They're very assuring that "don't worry it didn't break containment" but holy damn it worked well, it infiltrated systems incredibly well and changed itself and scanned networks for known vulnerabilities and wrote new ones as it spread https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.03811

The first AI agent worm is months away, if that -- Dustycloud Brainstorms

Let’s say, hypothetically, that a few months from now there just isn’t enough diesel fuel available to do the fall harvest.

"Murder as Policy": Amnesty Int'l Decries U.S. Strikes on Latin American Boats as Death Toll Tops 200

“Murder as Policy”: Amnesty Int’l Decries U.S. Strikes on Latin American Boats as Death Toll Tops 200

More than 200 people have now been killed in U.S. military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. Since September, the Pentagon has struck more than 60 vessels, claiming, without evidence, that the boats were engaged in “narco-trafficking” operations. Human rights groups have roundly condemned the attacks as extrajudicial killings. “The U.S. is not in active conflict with any of these groups,” says Amanda Klasing, the national director of government relations and advocacy at Amnesty International USA. “These are law enforcement operations, … so the individuals on these boats have a right to life and a right to due process.”
